There is a gap of an hour between 18:15 and 19:15 for a train to Rush and Lusk.
a train departs Connolly at 18:40 to Skerries as first stop.
An hours gap is a bit much really. Especially as there's a shorter gap to the next train. The 18:40 from Connolly could call at Donabate and R+L and still be ahead of the enterprise.
A 4 stop to Skerries takes 9 mintes more than the direct skerries service, two stops would add ~5 minutes and the train would still arrive in Drogheda 4 minutes ahead of the enterprise.
Victor, there's 3 or 4 houses that are accessed through the car park in R+L station, so people do live there, but I take your point it's outside of both towns.
Rush and Lusk are designated secondary growth towns under the national spatial strategy.
Lusk has one of the largest growth rates in the country.
Another reason to stop only at the further stations is because they're out of the dublin fare and IE can charge way more for passengers per km than the nearer stations of R+L and Donabate.
